My longest factbook is, currently, 17125 words long. And it's a legit factbook too, not just memes.

I need a new hobby.

Holy shit it did crash WordCounter.net.

Atleast it worked when I refreshed the site. Funny because I can put 14k word long essays in and it'll be completely fine (though the reason for the crash was probably it trying to count how many times 'boop' was written). What a fantastic keyword density of 10,010.

yeah, it's fine with longer factbooks, so it has to be the repetition of the word.

It's the Vassal Factbooks in Wexas, and I think part of the reason why it's so long is because each section introduces both a region and character. The sections themselves are only around 3,000-ish words each, and honestly, I feel like I could have written more, but I didn't feel like writing an entire overview factbook for the town of Rockport.

I thought it might've been that one. character writing is a really easy way to end up spamming thousands of words in one factbook, I've found.

Now that we're venting off on PT consternation, or Hamatu was, I'll have to say that "God Pantheons" are a bit of a pet peeve of mine, not because I don't like them but because they overshadow other forms or interpretations of polytheism...or pantheism...like the messed-up system I use, based off of Nahua beliefs, or a segment of scholarly interpretations over the beliefs of their warrior-class.

I admit that it's unfair to get mad at people for soaking up pop culture's depictions of Greco-Roman or Norse or Egyptian pantheons, and how they're all relatively neatly divided into their own little domains and have a fairly human face to them, are considered "supernatural", etc.

And it gets weird...
It just gets in the way of trying to explain that "personifying" deities is a convenient way of depicting highly fluid divine powers and energies that are moving around the cosmos and are only perceivable through natural phenomena; for example, Tohorin is the patron deity and Sun Goddess, but how she's possibly also a giant feathered fire snake that appears as the the Aurora (as it's associated with "Sky Fire"), and she's also a manifestation of Venus and the Twilight itself (a glimmer of fire in the cold night). Things only get more weird when I try to flesh out that, consequently, Tohorin's "personification" can blend or mesh itself with the "personifications" of the aforementioned phenomena...and that as the Tohorinese people don't have "Official Religion", many myths tend to become regionalized and have offshoots that only share similar patterns of leimotifs.

And then there's trying to explain that as these forces and essences are everywhere, there's really no such concept as the "supernatural", there's just a world of visible "heavy" matter that lives overlapped with an invisible world of "light" matter where these personified energies and "spirits" or "gods" can occasionally interact with heavy matter. Including people. So a big portion of Tohorinese customs tend to be over how to keep things in balance and pure.
The Great Land of Tohorin

"You are entering the Southwestern Exclusion Zone. It is a Restricted Area! No trespassing! You waive your right to safety when entering the Reservation and Nature Preserve. This is your last chance, we will not prosecute the Tohorinese if they kill you but will prosecute any unlawful entries."
